COMMUNITY PREVENTION - COMMUNITY NAVIGATION | COLUMBUS AREA UNITED WAY, INC

Connects youth and families to resources and support. Navigators help "fill gaps" by helping agencies partner around a common goal or by utilizing flexible funding for needs such as rent, utilities, transportation, and more.

Community Prevention reduces unnecessary involvement of child welfare and juvenile justice while increasing the informal and community supports for youth and families. Coordinates existing resources and matches participants with a resource to either solve an immediate need or develop a longer-term coaching relationship.
